39th Table Top Tuesday

Welcome to the 39th Table Top Tuesday. I am so thrilled you've joined us. Be sure to visit all the wonderful ladies that have linked up. You will be amazed at all the fabulous eye candy.

As I showed you in yesterday's post, I moved some furniture around, and so of course that meant some new vignettes.

I am so happy to have the extra sofa out of the living room and my two chairs in front of the window.

I kept the table decor really simple. Just a few marble eggs and a pic of my daughters family on an easel. A faberge egg plate for the final touch.

Remember this pretty picture that I found at Ross.

I loved it and at this incredible price, I just had to have it.

I think it is perfect to finish off this corner of the room. I also placed the plant stand that I got in Calif. on our girls trip and a plant in the corner.

So fun to change things around a little and have a whole new look.

I'm also still having a ball with the free art and my printer. I did like the whimsical rooster pic that I had here, but this is such a pretty scene with the sun shining in on these two, I just had to print it out.

Fits right in with my rooster tray and the rooster tin with fruit. Just playing and having fun.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I always look forward to your visits. Be sure to link up below and be sure to check out all of the participants.

And, I have something embarrassing to confess to you. I asked Matt to mail your pretty spoons that you won in my giveaway, but then forgot to show him where they were (tucked away safely). I was shocked when I just found them in their drawer - I had thought they'd been sent. I am so so sorry -- they are on their way to you now! Apologies for the terribly long delay. Hope you understand.

I am loving your new arrangement in your living room. The frame and easel is my favorite. I'm going to try and duplicate this elegant look you created. Thank you for the beautiful inspiraton my friend.

Looks beautiful Marty. Love the rooster print out and you really got a wonderful deal on the picture from Ross. The chairs look great in front of the window. I have the exact same planter! I bought mine in SC while I was living there. Mine of course is a reproduction, but I asked why it had the funny little drawers and the lady told me it was a reproduction of an antique wig stand used in the 1800's and the little drawers were for the pins. I took the story and ran with it, I'm really not sure, sometimes I use mine as a planter, I have used it to display antique hats, just whatever I feel like that day! Thanks for hosting.Sandy

It should always be about "playing and having fun", Marty! : ) Love that dog print. Guess what came today? My bunny prints! Now I just have to find frames. I have two that might work, but I may just wait and see if I can find something at Goodwill or on clearance somewhere. Thanks for hosting. I'll have my link up shortly!

I had to go back and read the previous post about the living room first. Being out of town last week put me behind everywhere. It looks wonderful!! I want to change out BOTH of my sofas to neutral ones like yours.

I love the way you moved stuff around for this post too. LOVE that print of the sun shining on the roosters.

Marty, your one sofa living room looks beautiful! I also scrolled down to see yesterday's post, and your family room looks so nice. I can't believe the deal you got on that wonderful picture of the dogs! With all of the masterpieces you are creating, you will soon be like me - out of wall space! Your pretty eggs make such a lovely display on your table. laurie

I love your roosters in there lovely old world European style...Besides loving roosters (see my "country visitors" post last week) the rich colors of the rooster artwork reminds me of a wonderful exhibition of 14th century lost Dutch paintings I saw years ago...Wonderful memories.

I am joining your party for the first time this week...Thank you for hosting.

Hi Marty~I was thinking of joining your party today- but in my post it also mentions that I will be hosting a Holiday themed Feathered Nest Friday party... would that be okay to link up or is that a no-no? Let me know if it's okay to link up and I will join in- otherwise, maybe next week!! btw. Your new dog print is such a find and looks great where you placed it! :)

Marty,Your gorgeous home is 'eye candy'! I'm adoring the changes in your living room. . .the two chairs in front of the window and your lovely lamp look so inviting.The new photos you've made are incredible! Of course, I'm still smitten with your rabbit print. Hm~m~m~m . . .maybe I'll have to hint for the upcoming Season? Thank you for another all inspiring post! Oh, I do enjoy your visits, also!Fondly,Pat

Marty, I really like the new living room arrangement. The chairs do look so nice in front of the window and the tabletop theme is so simple but I think it sets it off perfectly. Your place always looks so warm and inviting....and obviously you like to "play" with your things just like I do! lolElaine :)

Marty, thanks for your info on the rooster and cows prints. Who would ever have known that you created them on a printer? Because of your recent post on rearranging bookshelves, I have spent the morning doing just that. I'm pleased with the difference but I am so slow to get it to that point. I always choose a day when I'm home alone to start pulling everything out otherwise anyone would think I had lost it for sure! Love your new furniture arrangement. I have learned over the years that when I avoid overcrowding everything shows to its best advantage. I really enjoy your blog. It is such a favorite!

All changes are so fine and good looking ... A very fresh look to the home. I love it. and you did it in a very fab wayDid you like to have a cup of tea with some very sweet cookies with me? please come at http://craftaworld.blogspot.com/LoveFarah
